Canile
Definition
Canile (noun): In hip-hop and street slang, especially influenced by French or Italian immigrant communities in rap scenes, refers to low-class riff-raff, scum, or the lowly mob; a pack of unworthy underdogs or snitches living like dogs in the gutter. Borrowed from French 'canaille' (rabble) or Italian 'canile' (dog kennel), evoking images of feral street life.
